Sokol Haim

Autor depicts Rome from the inside and the back door perspectives – Rome, where revolution intermingles with poor migrants’ everyday life, like in the prose of Andrei Platonov, to whose poetics the artist has alluded in previous works. The artist has personally mused, “History didn’t die, but hid in a game of “hide and go seek” during bleak everyday life. There it has sat, forgotten by everyone, since that time. In order to find it again, we must to return to childhood, where knowledge is not given us in experience, but in the subconscious and imagination. When we do so – suddenly rain pipes become the busts of famous heroes from the revolution, an old coat turns into a memorial to the fallen, a doormat becomes a banner, and a the Arc de Triomphe turns into a workers’ dormitory.”
